\n Dear Client,\n<\/p>\n

\n To ensure fair trading conditions and manage market volatility during major economic announcements, VT Markets will apply temporary leverage adjustments on certain trading products during specific news periods and market opening\/closing.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n These adjustments are designed to protect clients from abnormal market fluctuations, sudden liquidity changes, and extreme price movements that may occur during high-impact news releases.\n<\/p>\n

\n 1. Products Affected<\/strong>

\n The temporary leverage adjustment may apply to the following products:
\n \u2022 Forex
\n \u2022 Gold
\n \u2022 Silver
\n \u2022 Oil
\n \u2022 Indices
\n \u2022 Commodities (including XPT and XPD)
\n<\/p>\n

\n 2. Adjusted Leverage During News Releases and Market Opening\/Closing<\/strong>

\n During the specified news period, maximum leverage will be adjusted as follows:
\n Forex: 200
\n Gold: 200
\n Silver: 50
\n Oil: 20
\n Indices: 50
\n Commodities: 5

\n Please note that each product with leverage already below the above will not be affected.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n 3. News Events That Can Trigger The Adjustment<\/strong>

\n Leverage adjustments may be applied during major economic announcements including:
\n \u2022 FOMC Interest Rate Decisions
\n \u2022 CPI (Consumer Price Index)
\n \u2022 GDP
\n \u2022 PMI \/ NMI
\n \u2022 PPI
\n \u2022 Retail Sales
\n \u2022 Non-Farm Payroll (NFP)
\n \u2022 ADP Employment Data
\n \u2022 Crude Oil Inventories

\n The above data is for reference only. Other significant macroeconomic releases from major economies may also be included.\n<\/p>\n

\n 4. Affected Period of News Releases and Market Opening\/Closing<\/strong>

\n Temporary leverage adjustments apply during the following periods:
\n Economic News Period<\/strong>
\n \u2022 15 minutes before<\/strong> the announcement
\n \u2022 5 minutes after<\/strong> the announcement
\n Market Opening \/ Closing Period<\/strong>
\n \u2022 3 hours before the weekly market closing (Friday)<\/strong>
\n \u2022 30 minutes after market reopening (Monday)<\/strong>
\n \u2022 30 minutes before daily market closing (Monday \u2013 Thursday)<\/strong>

\n After the above period ends, leverage will automatically return to the original leverage.\n<\/p>\n

\n 5. Important Rules<\/strong>

\n \u2022 The adjustment only affects new positions opened during the adjustment period.<\/strong>
\n \u2022 Positions opened before the adjustment period will not be affected.<\/strong>
\n \u2022 Once the adjustment period ends, original leverage will resume automatically.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

\n 6. Example Scenarios<\/strong>

\n Example 1 \u2013 Position Opened Before the Adjustment Period<\/strong>
\n A client opens a Gold position at $3,000<\/strong> before the news period.
\n Account leverage: 1:500<\/strong>
\n Margin required:
\n 3000 \u00d7 100 \u00f7 500 = $600<\/strong>
\n Since the position was opened before the news period<\/strong>, the leverage remains unchanged.

\n Example 2 \u2013 Position Opened During the News Period<\/strong>
\n A client opens a Gold position during the news period.
\n Leverage is temporarily reduced from 1:500 to 1:200<\/strong>
\n Margin required:
\n 3000 \u00d7 100 \u00f7 200 = $1500<\/strong>
\n Once the news period ends, the leverage setting will revert to the original level.

\n Example 3 \u2013 Product With Lower Default Leverage<\/strong>
\n A client trades an index product with leverage 1:20.<\/strong>
\n Since the leverage is already below 1:50<\/strong>, the news-period adjustment does not apply and margin requirements remain unchanged.\n<\/p>\n

\n We strongly encourage clients to take these temporary leverage adjustments into account when planning trading strategies during high-impact economic events.\n<\/p>\n
